Method of Wuḍū

It is Mustaḥab to sit on an elevated place facing the Qiblaĥ. It is Sunnaĥ to make the intention for Wuḍū. Intention is the purpose present in the heart. Verbal intention is preferable provided that it conforms to what is in the heart.

Therefore, make the intention as, ‘I am performing Wuḍū in order to fulfil the commandment of Allah ��� � �! ��"�# and to

attain purity.’ Recite م� �ب� ه�ل� ��ل س� as it is also a Sunnaĥ,

rather say م� �ب� م �ل� ��ل س� �لح � د� ه� ه�ل� �ل , as angels will continue to

write good deeds as long as one is in the state of Wuḍū.

Wash both hands up to the wrists, three times each, and after that do Khilāl (interlace the fingers of both hands to moisten the webbings and the sides) of the fingers (with the tap closed). Now perform Miswāk three times in the right & the left, the upper & the lower teeth; after each cycle, rinse the Miswāk.

Now rinse your mouth three times with handfuls of water using the right hand (closing the tap each time with the left), making sure that the water reaches all parts of the mouth; gargle, if you are not fasting.

Now sniff water three times in to the nose up to the end of the cartilage (soft part of the nose) using three handfuls (half a handful is sufficient for this purpose) of the right hand (closing the tap each time with the left). If you are not fasting, then snuffle water up to the root (top end) of the nose.

Now clean the nose with the left hand (keeping the tap closed) and insert the pinky (the smallest) finger into the nostrils. Wash the whole face three times such that water must flow on every part from the top of the forehead (the point where the hair naturally begins to grow) to the bottom of the chin and from one earlobe to the other.

If one has a beard and he is not in the state of Iḥrām (particular state for Hajj/‘Umraĥ) then do Khilāl (with the tap turned off) of the beard by inserting the fingers into the beard from the neck and bringing them out towards the front.

Now wash the right arm from the tips of the fingers up to and including the elbow three times and then wash the left arm in the same manner. It is Mustaḥab to wash up to half of the upper arm (humerus). Most people take a small amount of water in their hand and pour it over their arms towards the elbow three times. But in this method, there is risk that water would not flow over the edges of wrist and arm. Therefore, wash arms as mentioned.

Now there is no need to pour a handful of water over the arms. In fact, doing this (without a valid justification) is wastage of water. Now (with the tap closed) moisten (Masḥ) the head. This should be done by joining the tips

of the three fingers, other than the index fingers and thumbs, of both hands and placing them on the top of forehead. Move these fingers from the forehead towards the back of the neck without letting the palms touch the head. Each palm should then be placed on either side of the head and pulled across the sides; back towards the forehead. During this, the index fingers and thumbs should not touch the head at all.

Now use the index fingers to moisten the insides of the ears; the thumbs to moisten the back of the ears; and insert the pinky (the smallest) finger into the openings of the ear canals (holes of ears). Now moisten the back of the neck using the back of fingers of both hands. Some people, in addition, moisten the throat, the forearms and wrists; this act is not Sunnaĥ.

Make a habit of closing the tap before moistening the head. It is a sin to waste water by leaving the tap open fully or even partially. Now wash both feet three times,

first the right and then the left, beginning from the toes up to the top of the ankles. It is Mustaḥab to wash halfway up the shin. It is Sunnaĥ to do Khilāl between the fingers of both feet. The tap should be kept closed during Khilāl.

Its Mustaḥab method is to start doing Khilāl from little toe of the right foot to its big toe using the pinky (the smallest) finger of the left hand, and then, doing Khilāl from the big toe of the left foot to its little toe using the same pinky of the left hand. (Common books)

Also recite this Du’ā after Wuḍū (with Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī before and after it).

�لل� � �p ب�� و� ن �لت� � م� �uعل� تط ني �ج� م�

ن �ل� � م� �uعل� ي �ج� ر� ن ه��

O Allah ��� � �! ��"�#! Make me amongst those who repent abundantly and make me amongst those who remain pure.

13

After Wuḍū recite Kalimaĥ Shaĥādaĥ and Sūraĥ Qadr as excellences of these have been mentioned in Aḥādīš.

Four Farāiḍ of Wuḍū

1. Washing the face.

2. Washing both the arms including the elbows.

3. Moistening a quarter of the head.

4. Washing both the feet including the ankles. (Al-Fatāwā al-Ĥindiyyaĥ, pp. 3, vol. 1)

Method of Ghusl

Make the following intention in heart without uttering any word with tongue: ‘I am going to take bath for acquiring purity.’

First wash both hands up to wrist three times. Wash excretory organs whether impurity is present over there or not. Now, if there is impurity on any part of body,

14

remove it. Perform Wuḍū as done for Ṣalāĥ but do not wash feet. In case of performing Ghusl on some stool, wash feet as well. Now moisten the body with wet hand, especially in winter season (during this, soap may be applied).

Now pour water three times over right shoulder, three times on left shoulder, on head and then three times on the whole body. Now shift apart from place of Ghusl and wash feet if not washed during Wuḍū. Do not face towards Qiblaĥ during Ghusl. During bath, rub all the body by hands.

Take bath at such a place where nobody could see you. If such place is not available, a man should cover his Sitr [from navel up to (including) knees] with a thick cloth. If thick cloth is not available, two or more thin cloths can be wrapped on Sitr as thin cloth will stick with the body and colour of thighs / knees may be exposed (Allah ��� � �! ��"�# forbid).

15

A woman has to take more cautions. Neither talk during Ghusl nor recite any invocation. After bath, body may be wiped with a towel etc. Wear cloths immediately after the completion of Ghusl. If it is not a Makrūĥ time, offering two Rak’āt Ṣalāĥ is Mustaḥab. (Well known books of

Ḥanafī jurisprudence)

Three Farāiḍ of Ghusl

1. Rinsing the mouth.

2. Sniffing water inside the nose.

3. Ablution of the whole apparent body. (Al-Fatāwā al-Ĥindiyyaĥ, pp. 13, vol. 1)

Method of Tayammum [Wiping]

Make Niyyaĥ (intention) to perform Tayammum (Niyyaĥ is the name of the intention of heart and pronouncing it verbally is better. For example, make intention in these

words: ‘I am performing Tayammum to purify myself from impurity and to make myself eligible for offering Ṣalāĥ’).

Read م� �ب� ه�ل� ��ل س� and, with fingers spread wide open, hit

hands on some pure object that is earthen in nature (e.g. stones, limestone, bricks, walls, soil etc.) and drag the hands back and forth on that object. If hands become over-dusty, reduce excessive dust by jerking hands. Wipe entire face with hands such that no part of the face is left unwiped; Tayammum will not be valid if even a part equivalent to a hair is left unwiped.

Again hit hands on that object like before and wipe both arms from the fingertips up to (and including) the elbows. A better way to do this is to first wipe right hand with inner side of four fingers of the left hand, leaving the left thumb, starting from exterior side of fingertips of the right hand and dragging on exterior side up to the right elbow. Then, wipe with palm of left hand from

interior side of right elbow up to the right wrist dragging left palm on interior side. Finally, use the inside of the left thumb to wipe the back of the right thumb. The left arm should be wiped in the same manner using right hand. (Al-Fatāwā Tātār Khāniyyaĥ, pp. 227, vol. 1)

And if wiping is done with palm and fingers jointly, Tayammum will still be valid whether traversing is done from fingers towards elbow or vice versa. But this would be contrary to Sunnaĥ. Tayammum does not require wiping of head and feet. (Well known books of Ḥanafī

jurisprudence)

Farāiḍ of Tayammum There are three Farāiḍ in Tayammum:

1. Intention

2. Wiping hands on the entire face.

3. Wiping both arms including the elbows. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, pp. 353, vol. 1, part 2)

pause) are considered one Kalimaĥ. After uttering this, he should take a pause for the amount of time in which the replier can reply.

Not taking the pause is Makrūĥ and therefore, repeating such Ażān is Mustaḥab. (Ad-Dur-rul-Mukhtār & Rad-dul-Muḥtār,

pp. 66, vol. 2)

The replier should say لل� ��� ك� ه� � � � ه� � �ل� ��ل رب ربك� during the

pause of the Mūażżin, i.e. when the Mūażżin is silent. He should reply to the other Kalimāt in the same way.

When the Mūażżin says ل� �� و� س� �" � Uد م� م�ح �N� د� هLV ه� �ل� ��ش� the first

time, the replier should say:

Method of Ṣalāĥ

Stand erect facing the Qiblaĥ in the state of Wuḍū with a distance of four fingers between feet. Now raise both hands making thumbs touch the ear-lobes. Fingers should neither be too close together nor too wide apart; instead, they should remain in a normal position, palms facing the Qiblaĥ. Eyesight should be focused at the place of Sajdaĥ.

Now make a firm intention (in your heart) of the Ṣalāĥ that you are about to offer. To say it verbally is better (for example, ‘I intend to offer four Rak’āt for today’s Farḍ Ẓuĥr Ṣalāĥ.’ If you are in a Jamā’at, add the words ‘following this Imām’). Now, utter Takbīr-ut-Taḥrīmaĥ

( � � ه� �ل� ��ل ك�رب ) lowering your hands and fold them below

navel with right palm on the back of left wrist joint, three middle fingers straight on the back of left forearm and thumb and small finger making a loop on either side of wrist. Now recite Šanā like this:

However, if it is a Sunnaĥ Ṣalāĥ or Nafl Ṣalāĥ, then Sūraĥ must be added after Sūraĥ al-Fātiḥaĥ in the third and fourth Rak’at (you must remember that if you are offering the Ṣalāĥ following an Imām, you cannot recite anything in the Qiyām of any Rak’at, you must stand quietly).

in which ‘ حن �ل ب� ه�ل� �س� ’ can be uttered at least once.

8. Qawmaĥ, i.e. standing erect after Rukū’ (some people do not straighten their back after Rukū’, it is the missing of a Wājib).

straight or else the Ṣalāĥ will become Makrūĥ Taḥrīmī and repeating such a Ṣalāĥ will be Wājib).

10. The first Qa’daĥ is Wājib even in a Nafl Ṣalāĥ. (In fact, every Qa’daĥ in two Rak’āt Nafl Ṣalāĥ is the ‘last Qa’daĥ’ and is, therefore, Farḍ; if someone did not do Qa’daĥ and stood up forgetfully and if he has not yet done Sajdaĥ of the third Rak’at, he must return and do Sajdaĥ Saĥw). (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, pp. 712, vol. 1, part 4)

If someone has done the Sajdaĥ of the 3rd Rak’at of Nafl Ṣalāĥ, now he has to complete the fourth Rak’at and do Sajdaĥ Saĥw. Sajdaĥ Saĥw became Wājib because although Qa’daĥ is Farḍ after every two Rak’at of Nafl Ṣalāĥ, the first Qa’daĥ turned into Wājib from Farḍ because of performing the Sajdaĥ of the third or fifth Rak’at and so on.

11. Not reciting anything after Tashaĥĥud in the first Qa’daĥ of Farḍ, Witr or Sunnat-ul-Muakkadaĥ Ṣalāĥ.

12. Reciting complete Tashaĥĥud in both Qa’daĥ. If even one word is missed, Wājib will be missed and Sajdaĥ Saĥw will be Wājib.

13. If someone forgetfully recites ل�� ع � ص �pدY a �لل� م� م�ح or

نا� د� ي�� Y س ل�� ع � ص �pلل� after Tashaĥĥud in the first Qa’daĥ

of Farḍ, Witr, and Sunnat-ul-Muakkadaĥ, Sajdaĥ Saĥw will become Wājib; if someone says it deliberately, repeating the Ṣalāĥ will be Wājib. (Ad-Dur-rul-Mukhtār & Rad-dul-Muḥtār, pp. 269, vol. 2)

14. Saying the word ‘ �# ال when turning face to the ’�لس�

After the supplication, say لل� ��� � رب ه� �ك� , unfold the hands

and perform Salām on both sides. (Marāqil Falāḥ ma' Ḥāshiya-

The Very First Question on the

Day of Judgement

The beloved and blessed Prophet ��� �, �!  �� �& � �!  ����� ��'  &( ����  �)�  ��* �+ said, ‘On the Day of Judgement, the very first question that will be asked to man out of his deeds will be about Ṣalāĥ; if his Ṣalāĥ is correct he will succeed but if it is incomplete, he will be disgraced and will suffer loss.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsaṭ, pp. 32, vol. 3, Ḥadīš 3782)

Nūr for Muṣallī

The Holy Prophet   &( ����  �)�  ��* �+��� �, �!  �� �& � �!  ����� ��' said, ‘The one who secures his Ṣalāĥ, the Ṣalāĥ will be Nūr, evidence and salvation for him on the Day of Judgement; and the one who does not protect it, there will be no Nūr, evidence or salvation for him on the Day of Judgement and such a person will be kept with Pharaoh, Qārūn, Ĥāmān and Ubay bin Khalaf on the Day of Judgement.’ (Musnad Imām

Aḥmad, pp. 574, vol. 2, Ḥadīš 6587)

Whom will People be Resurrected With?

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyidunā Imām Muhammad Bin Aḥmad Żaĥabī ���� ��'  &( ����  �)�  �3� �4 �5 narrates, ‘Some honourable scholars ��  ����

�4 �5 � � ��  �� &( �� say that the one who abandons Ṣalāĥ will be resurrected with Pharaoh, Qārūn, Ĥāmān and Ubay Bin Khalaf on the Day of Judgement because people usually abandon their Ṣalāĥ due to wealth, rule, ministry and trade.’

The one who abandons his Ṣalāĥ due to being occupied with state affairs will be resurrected with Pharaoh. The one who abandons his Ṣalāĥ owing to his wealth will be resurrected with Qārūn. If the reason of abandoning Ṣalāĥ is ministry, he will be resurrected with Pharaoh’s minister, Ĥāmān and if the reason of abandoning Ṣalāĥ is busyness in trade, he will be resurrected with Ubay Bin Khalaf, the head trader of the unbelievers in Makka-tul-Mukarramaĥ.’ (Kitāb-ul-Kabāir, p. 21)
